BUILDING CODES – Adds to existing law to provide for the publishing of building permit requirements and timely review of applications.

This bill requires Idaho local governments (cities and counties) to publish detailed building permit requirements online and in physical form. It sets strict 10-business-day timelines for reviewing applications - requiring local governments to notify applicants of missing documents within 10 days if incomplete, and to confirm completeness within 10 days of receiving a complete application. If a public hearing is needed, local governments must schedule it within 45 business days after the application is deemed complete. The law directly affects local permitting offices and anyone applying for building permits, aiming to increase transparency and reduce delays in the approval process.
